Majorca Flats -- 365

“Yes, love. I was. So I went back to my old ways. I went out trying to find someone to fuck, anyone, it didn’t matter. Did you know I used to do that?"

Cody shook his head.

“I’m not proud of it. I whored around …

Cody turned his head and brushed his lips in reassurance and love against Luigi’s cheek, startling the other man.

“… and … well … I saw Jace in the park and I … picked him up. Thing is … he was so kind to me. They often aren’t, you know.

“I know." There were tales a-plenty in Cody’s laconic response.

“And I’ve been there, Coads, in those loveless dark places, I’ve been so alone. A guy’s just fucked me. You can’t get physically closer than that, can you? Yet I still felt so alone. But Jason sussed out my loneliness. I … I cried … because of you … because of everything. And I tried to hide it from Jace. And he saw. And he talked to me. And made me promise to see him again."
